On holiday in Florida from the UK. We visited Kennedy Space Center today and had the most awesome time. Staff were kind, helpful and accommodating. Thank you for an amazing day KSC! Only suggestion I have is sell some sparkly NASA tops for women….they would fly off the shelves.
We were extremely disappointed with our last visit. We brought people from out of state last Thursday and it was so crowded with roudy kids. They were out of control running all over the place. They were screaming on the rides and in the theaters. They were climbing on the exhibits and just being loud and obnoxious. We purposely brought people who had never seen KSC and were very excited to see it. We weren’t able to see everything and had to eventually leave early because of the kids.
I was so disappointed. We came out to the space center with my niece after visiting a few years ago. The bus tour and restricted area reservations were full before we even entered. However no one told us. It was a total disappointment I would like tickets for an additional day or a refund – that was over 1/2 the experience.
